No big deal but there is a new trojan that does significant damage to the Windows registry IF you have windows scripting host (which W2K does and NT if you installed it):
Trojan horse breaks Windows PCs
To see if you are vulnerable and need to upgrade your VM in IE:
- Click Start
- Click Run
- Type cmd and hit the enter key
- At the command prompt, type jview and hit the enter key
The version information will be at the right of the topmost line. It will have a format like "5.00.xxxx", where the "xxxx" is the build number. When I run this on my W2K commandline running IE6, I see:
Microsoft (R) Command-line Loader for Java Version 5.00.3802
Thus my build number is 3802. OK, now I know the build number. How do I tell if I'm affected? Any build 2000-2441 is vulnerable as well as obsolete where as any builds 3000-3187 are vulnerable. If your VM is vulnerable, download a non-vulnerable VM
